One day emperor Akbar was having lunch.Birbal too was present with him.Akbar was praising brinjal as the most delicious vegetable.Birbal truely joined the king in his praises and even went to the extent of singing songs in the praise of brinjal.
A few days passed.Birbal was with the king again this time and they were having a meal together.The cook brought a dish made of brinjal.Akbar said "Oh no,not brinjal.It is the silliest vegetable i know.It has only seeds and no taste.Maybe you can serve it to Birbal.He likes it a lot."No ,No", exclaimed Birbal when the cook was about to serve him the curry,"I hate brinjal.It is a tasteless vegetable.I donot like it"."What? Birbal somedays back you sang the praises of brinjal.Now you are saying you donot like it",said the Emperor.
"Your majesty,when you praised brinjal,I joined you in doing so.Now that you say you do not like it,I join you too.I am loyal to the emperor and not to brinjal.Brinjal cannot give me ministership however much i praise it! " said Bribal smilingly.Akbar admired his honesty and intelligence.
